How do you carry those heavy locks ?

My lbs mounted mine the same way as Mr Jamie. I've adopted on all my bikes since. Wish i could find some brackets though?

I use the kryptonite bracket and frame mount it like this:

Carry my lock?
Nah, i leave at least one at either end of my commuter.

I use a single Kryptonite mini D-lock for securing my bike. It is a fair weight but I just sling it in my panniers along with the rest of my kit. If not carrying panniers I'll use my rack top bag instead. I on't want the hassle associated with frame brackets.

I leave mine at work on the cycle rack.

I used to leave a heavier lock at a previous work and take a lighter lock for nipping into shops etc. My heavy lock was left in a tamper proof location though.

I had / have the same problem, the Dawes Nomad is fitted with Tubus Logo Rack, these will not allow a rack pack and panniers to be carried on the top rail, so the lock a Kryptonite New York had to be carried on the top of the rack. I dont like Bungie cords but I had some industrial strength Velcro straps from B&Q that I used for another job last year, re-cycled these and they have done the job but I am using four .

Thanks a lot for your answers. I'll first give a try to the brackets I think.

x2 Abus Granit X-Plus long D locks in one pannier.
x1 Motorcycle heavy thick chain and padlock in the other.

Heavy but I can leave my bike in town being fairly sure it will be there when I return after work.

Do you lock the bike up or just rely on thieves not being able to ride off with that much weight?

I have an Abus Chain, just wrap it round my waist.
It's loose now i have lost wait (YAY) but it's easier to carry this way.
